[praveenp]

How to communicate to the ThingWorx composer server form Java App using REST Services. Could any one provide REST API documentation.

Unfortunately as far as I have been able to find out the Java Docs for the ThingWorx Java API isn't public yet.

Please go to support / Wiki and to the REST API section to learn more about the Thingworx REST API.

The other important thing to realize is that everything in the Thingworx model is exposed in our REST API.

If you are looking to do automatic type creation and management, I recommend you familiarize yourself with the Entity Services that are built-in within Thingworx.

Hi,

We have gone through the Blog and understand that Thingworx service can be retrieved via rest api  using the url in the following format [http://localhost:8080/Thingworx/Things/ThingName/ServiceDefinitions/S | http://localhost:1977/Thingworx/Things/VMThing/ServiceDefinitions/GetAllVMDetails]erviceName?Accept=text/xml but this just returns the service definition. Please let us know how to get the return value in the form of xml/json so that a third party api can access the same.

http://localhost:1977/Thingworx/Things/VMThing/Services/GetAllVMDetails]erviceName?method=post&Accept=text/xml

use the above to get the result in an xml form

 [http://localhost:8080/Thingworx/Things/ThingName/Service | http://localhost:1977/Thingworx/Things/VMThing/ServiceDefinitions/GetAllVMDetails]s alone will not work, it gives some invalid error that is why we have gave [http://localhost:8080/Thingworx/Things/ThingName/Service | http://localhost:1977/Thingworx/Things/VMThing/ServiceDefinitions/GetAllVMDetails]Definitions
